It tells you that changes were made, but to see what actually changed, you need to look at the updated Principal Regulations. This is common practice — amendment regulations often get \"incorporated\" into the main law so there's one clean version to read, rather than having to cross-reference multiple documents.\n\n**Key takeaway:** If you're looking for the actual rules about driver licensing or vehicle registration, this document won't help you directly — you need the Principal Regulations instead."},"issue_detection":{"absurdities":[],"contradictions":[]},"flash_summary_failed":{"failed":true,"reason":"Unauthenticated.
